The output for each device appears on two lines. The first line contains only the device MAC address and the VLAN ID. The second line begins with the ID (serial number) of the FortiWiFi or FortiAP unit that detected the device, the AP’s MAC address, and then the fields that the Euclid service uses. Because of its length, this line wraps around and displays as multiple lines.
